Ground Rules

The GEP CoP community is a friendly space, free from discrimination, intimidation and hate. Every member of the GEP community should and will feel safe in this space. We know that every GEP member would never intentionally hurt or upset somebody with their comments, this is just a gentle reminder for you to be mindful when posting in the community forum or sharing other content.

Please remember that sensitive topics might arise out of knowledge sharing sessions and online discussions, so please remember to use trigger warnings where appropriate. If you are unsure, please contact us or go ahead and use the warnings – better to use them and not need them!

The purpose of this CoP is to provide exciting and rich content for GEP members. Please do not use content shared in this CoP through either the online forums, KSS or the knowledge base for other purposes (i.e. research), or share beyond the community platform without expressed permissions.

This community is a place for critical discussion and all members are here with good intentions to share and learn from one another. Please feel free to debate, sharing your own views and opinions while engaging in discussions as, after all, that is what the CoP is all about! However, anything considered as bullying or harassment will not be tolerated, and your comment will be removed from the forum and you may be removed from the community (again, we know that no member of GEP Community would ever do this!) If something has upset you and you’re unsure what to do, please feel free to contact us and we will support you.

Please see the Terms for the IDS Community Site for a more comprehensive overview.

Best wishes,

The GEP Team
